A/N: OK this is the reason why I've been a little late in updating anything, a mass update for all of my stories. Another reason is Oct-Nov I have friends and family who uses their time off/sick days for 3/4 day weekends and I usually visit them or they visit me/need help with something and that also cut into my free time on weekends not counting the errands/chores that get pushed onto the weekends.

Chapter XLI: Along Came A Spider...
Last Time.
Naruto put on his glasses Shuri gave him during Kang's invasion where Maria came up and explained Skrulls had taken S.H.I.E.L.D. S.W.O.R.D. and other agencies and had begun their attacks on their targets, severely damaging Earth's planetary defenses and neutralizing potential resistance. Naruto saw Thor throw Mjölnir around hitting various Skrulls as Cap fought with his Skrull and damaged the hologram shield.
Suddenly, everyone held their ears as they heard a piercing ringing forcing the humans on their knees. "Thor, they're using Earth's satellites to attack them, now!" Iron Man said as Thor spun his hammer and then threw it towards the sky to fly up to the atmosphere and had lightning hit all the satellites.
Naruto saw Veranke on the steps before jumping at her and wrapped his arm around her. He then placed a kunai at her throat. "Wait! I can give you anything you want! Power, wealth, me…"
"I'm good, that's tempting... I'm not gonna kill ya. You're outta your league anyway, there's another shapeshifter with red hair who's already tried the same."
New York, Avengers Mansion.
Everyone minus T'Challa sat in the living room discussing their win as Cap walked out. "What's wrong with him?" Ms. Marvel asked.
"The Skrulls used his face to have us surrender," Naruto said as Thor nodded.
"Aye, broken bones, broken buildings can quickly be repaired… But trust, broken bonds? That takes longer to heal."
Now.
England, The Dark Ages. (1.)
Naruto and Pantheress are fighting knights as she holds a gold frog statue. "The origin of the Golden Frogs are shrouded in mystery. Where they came from, who created them… To this day these questions remain unanswered. They were given to King Solomon over three thousand years ago as a gift. One frog is said to transport the user across space to the ends of the universe. The other allows traveling through the very reaches of time."
She explained kicking a knight away. "They were stolen by Aladdin himself… And are even said to be responsible for the Loch Ness Monster in Scotland.
"OK, now's not the time for a history lesson," Naruto said, punching another knight as Ravonna on a white horse ran past them. "Ravonna? I thought she was still asleep?"
"That Ravonna must be from after Richard saved her and traveled back in time. She must be on her way to deliver them to Kang!"
"Back cave people!" Ravonna yelled just as the frogs lit up and they disappeared without the horse.
Jungle.
They then appeared in a large jungle with Ravonna still throwing insults at them. "Ravonna… I suggest you save your threats." Pantheress said as they stared at two Tyrannosauruses' eating.
"How about a time-out?" Naruto asked as the trio looked on.
"Yes. Yes, that would be acceptable." Ravonna said before they disappeared again.
American Southwest, 1885.
The trio rode on horseback as they dodged bullets and arrows shot at them before Pantheress jumped over to Ravonna as Naruto shouted out just before they disappeared again. "GIVE…!"
Feudal Japan, 1192.
Pantheress used Naruto's staff to block a sword from a samurai as Naruto chased Ravonna. "… ME…!" They then disappeared again, having the Samurai falter as he regained his balance.
Paris France, 2082.
Naruto was kicked by Ravonna as aliens in ships with long legs fired on the city before disappearing once again. "… THAT…!"
Germany, 1942.
Naruto sidestepped Bucky as Pantheress was facing off against Captain America. "Frog…? This is nuts!"
"Hey, Cap… Looks like HYDRA'S got a few more Super-Goons to take down!" Bucky yelled before they disappeared
New York City.
Naruto looked to see Iron Man, Hulk, and Thor facing off against a large male Caucasian humanoid being. He's wearing a purple suit with horns on each side of his head.
"Is this New York?" Naruto asked, looking at the fight. "When does this happen?" Naruto asked before they disappeared again.
Ancient Egypt.
Naruto and Pantheress fell on the sand before looking to see Ravonna standing beside Kang who had a gold Nemes and staff as Egyptians with guns stood behind them.
"Crap," Naruto said standing up beside Pantheress.
"Kneel before Rama-Tut, dogs!" Kang said to them.
"My lord, Kang… I could feel you through the ages calling out to me…"
"You have done well, Ravonna. You have brought me our escape from this era... As well as revenge on the Avengers." Kang said as Naruto sighed.
"Took most of us to take this guy down," Naruto said as he got ready. "Since he knows us, he must get free or has already gotten free then."
They easily took out the men as Naruto dashed over, took the frogs, and he and Pantheress disappeared leaving Kang and Ravonna in the past.
Avengers Mansion, Present Day.
Wasp was reading a book in the living room as Naruto and Pantheress appeared startling her. "Jan is Kang still locked up?!" Naruto asked her as she flew over.
"Yeah, we checked this morning, why?"
"Because he gets free sometime in the future," Naruto said before leaving with Pantheress to a Quin-Jet to take the frogs back to Wakanda.
"Naruto, wanna join the mile-high club?" She asked looking back.
"Already a member but if you wanna join, you got to go through a tough initiation," Naruto replied smacking her on the ass.
Later, Harbor.
Shinobi sighed as he stood at the docks with a fenced-in area keeping the public out. He saw a crowd protesting at the fence and believed Cap had sold them out to the Skrulls before remembering earlier in the day of Tony going to the Daily Bugle, to tell J. Jonah the truth. J. Jonah doesn't believe Tony and rants how the powered heroes like the Avengers and the Fantastic Four aren't real heroes, like police officers or firefighters or reporters, but just willful vigilantes.
Tony then offers an interview with the real Captain America, and Jameson assigns Betty Brant to do the interview, along with Peter Parker to take pictures. There are protests against Captain America ongoing as Betty Brant and Peter Parker arrive where the two and Cap are overseeing a prisoner transfer of Viper, King Cobra, and Lyle Getz from S.H.I.E.L.D. custody of the Baxter Building.
The convoy, and the interview, begin, unaware that they are being watched by the Serpent Society. Naruto and Hawkeye were on flying motorcycles before the Society attacked the vehicles with S.H.I.E.L.D. taking Betty out of hers before it was hit. Peter, who was also with her, jumped out and ran into an alley to change as Naruto ran to attack Rattler as Cap used his newest shield that is a regular shield with the American flag theme on it.
Constrictor joins in on the attack, as Spider-Man jumps down to join in on the Avengers' side. Rattler attacks Naruto with his bolts having the Ninja dodge. Stray power bolts from the Rattler damage the street enough that it collapses to the subway underneath, taking Captain America, Spider-Man, and the convoy vehicle with it.
The rubble also hits a subway trail derailing it as the heroes get out of the rubble and help the civilians, Quartermain Madame Hydra and Cobra out before looking to see the Avengers card have no signal and the radios are out before hearing a scream. Looking back, Naruto saw a woman and an older man yelling at Spider-Man before walking over.
"OK, OK, Spider-Man here is with me, don't want anything to do with him? Then stay here, otherwise, come with us. If you don't want to be helped by us then I ain't helping you. That's how we get sued. And even then, I know a couple of damn good lawyers that'll help me out. So anyone who wants to get the hell out of here, follow us and be quiet, the group that tried to rescue our prisoners can't be too far behind and don't want to give ourselves away."
Spider-Man then had a light come off his belt showing his face before they started walking down the tunnel to find a manhole. After walking for several moments, Spider-Man stops before giving his light to a civilian before going to the back to talk to Captain America and Naruto to warn them that his Spider-Sense is going off and thinks it's the Society.
Spider-Man then asks Captain America why he won't defend himself, and Cap explains that he has talked to firemen, policemen, Naruto, and others that Spider-Man has helped; that the deeds Spider-Man has done define him, not the public opinion or glory. He finishes that he is confident that the truth will come out, but until it does he'll still fight.
Suddenly, the Serpent Society attacks them. "And here I was thinking this would be hard," Naruto said before cracking his neck and threw his right arm out having his gas pellets come out and disorient them.
"Quartermain, get the people outta here!" Naruto ordered and dodged a trick from the Constrictor.
Quartermain leads the civilians to safety while Naruto, Captain America, and Spider-Man fight a rearguard action. A collapse suddenly traps them, while Spider-Man stops the ceiling from collapsing by using his strength. The captured prisoners are freed as Naruto and Captain America take on the entire Serpent Society to protect the civilians. Cap is pinioned, and Death Adder is poised to strike.
The civilians distract the Serpent Society by pelting them with rocks and debris. Captain America breaks free. As the tunnel becomes worse, Madame Viper orders the Serpent Society to withdraw, and Captain America inspires Spider-Man to keep pushing against the collapse. The other Avengers arrive in time to evacuate everyone before the final collapse.
Later.
On top of a skyscraper, the trio stood on the edge with Spider-Man crouching on a flagpole. He looks at the paper in his hand and is pleased to know Cap's name has been cleared away from his Skull counterpart's crimes but does feel upset to find that Jameson had, once again, made him out to be a menace, with the headline.
"Captain America Saves NY from Spider-Man and the Serpent Society!?" Spider-Man asked in disbelief reading the headline out loud. "Are you kidding me?!"
"The people you saved know the truth." Captain America said, putting a hand on his shoulder. "We know the truth. And the truth always comes out.
"Yeah, right… What matters is what I do, right?"
"Yep." Naruto replied, crossing his arms."
"Well, what I'm gonna do now is find J. Jonah Jameson and web his mouth shut."
"I'm OK with that." Captain America said knowing the man's attitude.
Spider-Man then hops off the pole and web-swings away as the two Avengers look on.
To Be Continued.
A/N: Thanks for reading and let me know of any mistakes.

1. Issue from the tie-in comic. The next one has the Hulk in it as well as the Vision with the Avengers so I'll have to wait until he's out of prison before finishing the comics.
